Simple, Creative, Pretty Gift Wrap Ideas.- A DIY Post.

Are you looking for some creative gift wrap ideas? If so, you have come to the right place. There's no better way to create a personalized package for someone special than this. It's simple, fun, and the result will be loved by you and the recipient. This craft allows you to use up any leftover materials, such as buttons, beads, and flower embellishments that you may have in storage.










Here are the materials you'll need:

- Craft flowers (paper, silk or foam)
- Twine, string or ribbon
- Craft hearts (fabric, foam or sticker)
- Garland (any type)
- Craft clothespins (any color)
- Stamps and ink (any color and design)
- Washi tape (decorative tape)
- Hot glue or any craft glue
- Plain gift wrap paper/tissue paper (any material)
- Scissors

To create your own wrapping paper, begin by cutting a piece that is the appropriate size for the box you are wrapping. Then, carefully wrap the paper around the box and use decorative tape to secure it. Now, it's time to add some decorative elements to the wrapping paper. You can use stamps, hearts, stickers, garlands, and other decorations. Let your creativity shine!

Stamps and embellishments
Stamps are a fantastic way to add personalized messages, names, or cute sayings to your gift wrap. You can also enhance your gift wrap by adding embellishments such as stickers, hearts, or other designs that give your gift a unique look. Whether you choose shimmery embellishments or burlap, you can make your gift stand out. 

Washi tape
Washi tape is a great way to add a new design to your gift wrap. You can use longer or shorter sections, or break the tape and add it to specific areas of your gift. You can even use a section of washi tape and place it on your gift, then use a stamp to imprint a name over the tape. 

Twine, Rope, and Garland
Adding twine, garland, or decorative rope is another excellent way to make your package special. You can even string some beads on your twine for added flair. 
Adding simple materials such as decorative tape, beads, gems, or twine to a plain gift box can make it unique and special.

Gift Tissue paper
Wrapping a gift in tissue paper gives it a more delicate appearance and makes for a fun way to prepare gifts.


This is a cute way to personalize a gift for someone special. If you enjoyed this post, please feel free to share it. Feel free and leave a comment below and let me know what you created for someone special, or just say hello!

  4. I love how simple this all is and how pretty it looks. The fact that this can be done with any paper also opens the door for those of us who would like to make smart environmentally aware choices - Rather than wrapping gifts with expensive (and wasteful) commercial wrapping paper, we can do this with recycled paper.

  5. I would absolutely love a gift wrapped like this and while I am not crafty at all, this looks like something I could actually do myself. I am not sure if it would look as pretty as yours, but I do have some pretty supplies, I may actually give it a go.

  6. What a fun and creative idea! I had never even considered creating something like this when I wrap gifts. But I am also terrible at wrapping. Every time it ends up looking like a blind and intoxicated t-rex wrapped the gift. Reading this post makes me want to practice and learn to make beautiful wrapping like that though.

    1. Erica, you had me laughing so much with your blind intoxicated T-rex comment. When it comes to wrapping gifts I've noticed my husband sticks me with the tasks, and I end up not being able to find him, lol. I'm sure if you give it a try it would turn out great!!

  10. As a former scrapbooker, I have so many leftover embellishments and they would be perfect for this. I'm so lazy and always use gift bags, but these are lovely and such a personal touch! I love attention to the little details when I receive gifts, so I should be more creative when giving them!
